Name That Tune

Saharah was in town on Wednesday, and I helped her out with a couple of deliveries. I took carpet packages to Blathers and Pelly (for Phyllis) for her. Saharah rewarded me with a blue tarp.

Caroline told me that she found Blathers sleeping standing up in the museum (not a surprise). She also mentioned that he can spin his head in crazy directions.

Caroline: On top of that, he can spin his head in all sorts of crazy directions!

I knew real owls could do that, but it would be funny if Blathers actually did that in the game. ðŸĶ‰

Filbert asked me for a fossil “with legs” (because of his catchphrase), so I gave him a dimetrodon torso. He was very happy with it, and he put it on display right away.

Filbert: It's the smell of...history! It's so cool, with legs!

He thanked me with a lunar rover, which is a pretty cool reward.

On Thursday, it was raining in town. Truffles randomly announced that she’s not into judo when it rains. I’m pretty sure she’s not into judo when it’s dry either, so I don’t quite understand her point. 😛

Truffles: Helloooooo! Know what? When it's raining, I'm just not into judo...

Today is La-Di-Day, the day villagers will sing songs in hopes of having their song being chosen as the new town tune. Drift was the first to sing to me…

Drift: This little song is about how real men love to walk around!

However, his song didn’t stand out to me. I didn’t hire him, but Whitney was also nearby…

Whitney: You're about to hear a singing sensation live! Whitney, all night!

She sang the Mario theme for me, and I hired her…even though I’ve used the Mario song as my town tune before. However, I didn’t keep it very long. Robin also performed a song for me, and it sounded familiar (though I’m not sure what it was). I hired her, and her mystery song is now Forest’s town tune.

Robin: Yeah, I guess it's totally obvious. I'm the Melody Queen of this town!

A few minutes later, a 4th animal sang to me…but not for a town tune. It was K.K. Slider, and he performed “K.K. Dirge” for me at the Roost. I guess we are getting closer to Halloween time, after all.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Dirge!

Filbert came down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine Thursday and again tonight. Get well soon, little guy!

I wrapped up my night at town hall, where I checked out the notes for the new town tune.

If any of you want to try it out, feel free! Of course, town tunes work in any Animal Crossing game, not just Wild World. Maybe you’ll recognize what it’s from!

Flea Market Leftovers

On Thursday, I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 85,400 bells in interest this month.

Robin showed me a letter she received, and it tells how to avoid looking like a fool. 😆

Words of Wisdom: My mama always said if you want to avoid looking like a fool, shut your mouth. -Someone Who Knows

Wendell was in town, and that reminded me that I still need two fish for the patterns I wanted from him. Unfortunately, one of them (the giant snakehead) is already out of season. But I went fishing to look for the other one, a gar. But after 40 minutes of searching, I never found one. However, I did catch a dorado and two arapaimas (among other fish), so it wasn’t a total loss.

Yesterday, Filbert asked me for a new catchphrase, as he had a flea on him. So I told him to say “with legs,” and then I caught his flea for him. The new phrase has resulted in some absurd statements from him already, and I’m looking forward to hearing more. 😆

Filbert: Sometimes I wish I could talk to people from other towns more, with legs.
Filbert: It always gets my heart racing, with legs! I just gotta chiiiiiill out.

Drift came down with a cold yesterday; he has a frog in his throat. ðŸļ So I gave him some medicine yesterday, and again today. Get well soon, Drift!

Today was Flea Market day. Curt said he doesn’t know anything about flea markets, but he said leftovers always sound good to him. 😛

Curt: But leftover always sound good to me!

When I visited Pippy’s house (or…shop), she wanted me to buy something from her. She didn’t want to sell her fish though, so I ended up buying her sprinkler for 590 bells.

Pippy: Wow... I think my sprinkler is happy to live with you!

I ran into Robin outside, and she said there’s something about used furniture that’s so warm. Maybe because somebody was just sitting in it. 😛

Robin: There's just something about used furniture that's so warm, on a pizza.

I decided to buy something from Filbert, but almost everything I asked about, he didn’t want to sell! But he eventually relented and let me buy his fern fossil for 1,000 bells.

My next Wild World video episode is coming soon, so keep an eye out for it!

Disco Nap

On Wednesday, I found Pascal standing near the shore. I spoke with him, and he told me that albatrosses aren’t so bad once you get to know them.

Pascal: Albatrosses aren't so bad once you get to know 'em.

He then gave me some sea view wallpaper before plunging into the sea.

A message posted to the bulletin board gave tips on how to make food look more appealing. Although the tips aren’t exactly earth-shattering news. 😛

-Talking to Myself- To make food look more appealing, use a nice dish and arrange the plate well! It's cheap and easy!

Yesterday, Truffles told me how excited she is for the fireworks festival. But she wasn’t sure that she could stay awake long enough, so she wondered if she should take a “disco nap” first. ðŸŠĐ

Truffles: Should I maybe take a disco nap during the day so that I can stay up late?

Today, I met up with Truffles again outside of town hall. She started to tell me something about Pelly and Phyllis…

Truffles: Hon! Can you believe Pelly and Phyllis are...

But she caught herself before revealing a “scorching secret.” And she blamed me for her almost spilling the beans! I didn’t say a thing.

Truffles: WHOA! You ALMOST got me to divulge that scorching secret! VERY SNEAKY of you!

Truffles stomped over to the museum, where she met up with Whitney. Truffles (falsely) claimed that she was voted the most popular girl in Forest. Yeah, as if Whitney is going to believe that one. (Maybe when pigs fly.)

Truffles: I've been voted the most popular girl in Forest!

But Whitney didn’t go that direction. Instead, she told Truffles that when you’re really popular, you’re also really despised. 😆

Whitney: When you're popular, it means people secretly despise you.

So Whitney convinced Truffles that she has to make people despise her, in order to get them to really like her. These conversations are so crazy sometimes. ðŸĪŠ

Caroline is the latest villager to catch a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, Caroline!
